Error code: ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED
I get the error code: ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED whenever I try to go to http://reddit.com on my computer.
So far I have tried:
- setting my static DNS server to
8.8.8.8and8.8.4.4. - executing
netsh winsock reseton the command prompt then restarting my computer.
I can't access Reddit on any internet browser.

You could also runipconfig /flushdnsfrom an elevated command prompt (run as administrator). Maybe there's something weird in your DNS cache.

If you're getting this error for every site you visit, it's probably a DNS issue on your computer. Some ISPs might block custom DNS servers such as Google's 8.8.8.8.
If you're getting this error on a specific site, the DNS servers for that domain might be down.

I get these a lot at work. Usually this is because the router (actually the dns service) is dying. Resetting it will help for the short term. Your best bet is to replace the router though.
I've also heard rumors that this can happen with old routers when using IPv6, but have never seen this fix the problem.
